So here's a general update on my weight loss journey. In the first ten days, I have lost a total of four pounds. But that's not what my update is about. I've already posted that in a journal entry.

My update for tonight is this, I'm at work right now, in a hotel with four floors. For the first time I used the stairs instead of the elevator all the way up to the fourth floor, then down them back to the desk as well!

I honestly don't think I've ever been so proud of myself, but when I smoked and I was this heavy I couldn't imagine going up eight flights of stairs, but I did it tonight! Only twelve days in to my journey, and on my second week without smoking.

I'm going through so many changes lately but they are all for the better, and I absolutely HAVE to get better. I refuse to die before I'm 30 due to high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease!

24 years old, two weeks without smoking, twelve days into weight loss and 4 pounds gone, I'm not gunna stop now! :-)
